Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Brazilian Limeade.
Step 1
Start by mixing the cold water and sugar in a bowl. Stir them together until the sugar completely dissolves. Once done, pop the mixture into the refrigerator to chill; this will make your limeade extra refreshing!
Step 2
Next, take your limes and cut off the ends. Slice each lime into eight segments, releasing all that juicy goodness.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to blend! In batches, combine the chilled sugar-water mixture with the lime wedges in a blender. Pulse it several times until everything is well mixed and the limes are nicely broken down. This step is crucial for infusing that vibrant lime flavor into your drink!
Step 4
Once blended, pour the mixture through a strainer into a pitcher. This will catch any pulp and ensure your limeade is smooth and enjoyable.
Step 5
Finally, stir in the cream of coconut into the lime mixture. This adds a creamy texture and a hint of tropical flavor that makes this drink truly special. Give it a good mix and your Brazilian limeade is ready to serve!
How to Serve
Serve chilled over ice with a slice of lime for garnish. Perfect for summer gatherings or a refreshing afternoon treat!
How to Store
